Escaped from his prior owners in the same apartment building, Elmer clings to Brian and slowly turns his life into nothing but dependency.... read more

"01/06/13 - A better idea than it is a movie, Brain Damage still has great effects and one of the best monsters ever in Aylmer, the deformed brain thing."

Bad, but Honest reviews of my Instant Queue (104 movies items)

" 6.6? That's quite a high rating on IMDb for this garbage... few funny little scenes, few cool effects for it being an 80's movie with probably no budget, but the whole thing felt like a bad anti-drug p.s.a., also it feels a lot like the same scene happens over and over again..."
